Featuring a collection of enthralling poems, William T. Elliot: Vietnam Era Veteran follows William T. Elliot's story from serving in the US Air Force from 1972 to 1975 to his later life in America. The poem "War" presents a sobering portrait of war, penned from the perspective of a soldier. The author, being a Vietnam War veteran, speaks about feeling like a stranger in his hometown after his return from the war in "My Home Town." In "Going to War," the author shares his first-hand experience of witnessing propaganda during the Vietnam War, cautioning readers to be wary of what they read or hear during times of war. "The Fall of Saigon" reveals the aftermath of the Vietnam War. "Rejection" sheds light on the persecution faced by Vietnam War vets after their return home.
Through powerful poetry, William T. Elliot shares his story of being a war veteran who found strength in his faith in God to overcome overwhelming personal struggles for five decades. Elliot's story is one of resilience, courage, and faith in the face of adversity. The author has crafted some mesmerizing poems that not only feel emotionally resonant but also highlight the plight of war veterans who continue to be sidelined by the government and the general public after their time on the frontlines. Elliot sacrificed so much for his loved ones and his country, but only his faith in God kept him alive as he navigated the rigors of civilian life as a war vet. William T. Elliot: Vietnam Era Veteran is not just for poetry lovers but also for readers everywhere who seek to honor the courage and sacrifice of war veterans. Highly recommended!
